Have been offline for a few days and found several comments today. I can read them but am unable to reply.
Maybe post this under 'technical problems' (to get help faster). Sorry, I see that you have, doesn't show on the forum list . My bad.

Sorry to hear about your issues replying to comments.
Is this related to comments on Hubs?
Are you not able to post a comment to any Hubs?
I just tested the comment system using Chrome 23.0.1271.97 in Windows 7 and it appears to be working properly.
There is no "reply" button per se.
You can post a comment in response to a user by simply entering your text posting another comment. Our system does not differentiate comments and replies in comments.
If you are unable to post comments at all, first try the steps outlined in the link that follows (primarily clearing your browser cache).

If after those steps, you still cannot post comments, please let us know.
Clear cookies and try again. This kinda thing works more often than not, in most cases.

So, I've always thought it was the polite thing to do to reply to commenters, and thank them for their time and input, and I've made an effort to do so consistently.However, I'm wondering if this is now being discouraged by HP, as there is no available comment box for replies on hubs that have been...

I'm sure there are many reasons for and against responding to comments left by your readers. What do you think?

When I joined Hubpages I was able to post comments but after the first week I was not able to. I think that perhaps I am typing in HTML because there's an advisory below the comments that says no HTML. I was fooling around with Yahoo Free webpages...maybe I flipped some HTML...

When I get a comment on one of my hubs I usually reply, at least with a thanks if I can. I notice some do and others do not reply to comments.I am wondering if there is any reason for not replying apart from being too busy to do so? Is it bad for bandwidth? does it score against your page rank,...
